I should have snagged some ! Eeeper - I suppose drinks just sell alot better when there's someone famous peddling it, celebrity, singer, or superhero. Then again, that the case with most other things. Jamaipanese/rulascalaca - It tastes pretty close to say, a Mitsuya Cider drink that you can find in all convenience stalls here. Bitter Lix - Ditto that ! weigy - Hmm Kamen Rider...they might just release that soon, if they haven't already. :] Thanks for the link ! Also, I've replied to your questions on the Range Murata post, check it out. JD Salinger – No 3 minutes limit, I hope ! :]

The fact that many people love the characters is a good enough reason to make fun merchandise that fans can appreciate and they can gain a profit from. As for Japan being unable to brand independently of franchises they establish themselves, I'm really not quite sure where you're coming from. Not sure why one could be unhappy that we have drinks made after classic heroes that are actually of nostalgic value instead of Disney Channel kids. I wish we had these drinks over here... Actually, I'd even be more excited if they started doing Kamen Rider ones! Thanks for posting these Halcyon! My friend had introduced me to these a while ago, here's his brief post on it! http://baku2.blogspot.com/2009/04/another-ultraman-cider.html I’m quite puzzled by the above comment on Japan being unable to market things without raiding Toei/Soho/what other major Jap studio you can name.
